Top price paid for quality farm property

Sales take time to become official — while rumours will abound of sales and sale prices — it’s not until the ink is dry on a contract that a property can duly be said to be sold.

And while the residential property market is now transparent in terms of sale time and price, the same cannot be said of the agricultural property market.

Perhaps, that’s for the good because a cynic might suggest the residential property price register only came about to give solid values to the Residential Property Tax.
